ALEXANDRIA, VA — The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) and the Brewers Association (BA) are pleased to announce the nominees for the Sixth Annual Craft Beer Distributor of the Year Award. The award recognizes an American beer distributor who goes above and beyond in their efforts to actively market, sell and promote craft beer.

“With craft beer’s tremendous growth and independent beer distributors’ excitement for picking up new craft brands, it is no surprise that there were a record number of nominees for the Craft Beer Distributor of the Year Award this year,” said NBWA President Craig Purser. “American consumers continue to demonstrate their passion for craft beer and appreciation of the wide variety of flavors beer has to offer. Beer distributors take great pride in serving as the vehicle to market for these brands and providing choice and variety to the consumer.”
